A vertically oriented, sepia-toned photogravure portrait depicts a woman with dark skin tone facing us with a neutral expression. Her hair is parted and styled in two long braids. She wears an elaborate beaded headpiece with dangling circular discs across her forehead, multiple layered strands of white beads, and a garment covered in dense, wavy rows of small beads. The composition captures her from the waist up against a vertically textured background.
